Planting
Choose sun or partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Keep the roots cool with mulch and provide moisture during dry weather without leaving the soil waterlogged.
Care
Remove faded flowers to extend the display. Divide clumps every two to four years in spring or late summer to keep the planting vigorous.
Before planting: Often short-lived in hot, humid climates with persistently warm nights.
